nORROWIXQ MONEY BY
WIRELESS TELEGRAPH,
To borrow money from a ship, a
hundred miles away would have been
an impossible feat a year or two ago,
but now, thanks to Marconi, It Is an
easy matter, says tho Review.
A young man, for Instance, found
himself aboard ship, homeward bound,
his passage paid, but without money
for Incidental expenses and for land
ing. He knew that his mother was on
an easyjound ship. The probable
date and hour of" the meeting of the
two vessels being calculated, the pur
ser of the eastbound ship was Instruct
ed to lay the unfortunate's case before
his mother.
It took but a few minutes for her
to place the money In the hands of
her purser, who Instructed the purser
of the westbound liner to pay it to
his passenger.
The dramatic rescue of 600 passen.
gers from the American steamboat
Providence, while she was within a
few miles of the spot where the Ill
fated General Slocum was burnt to
the water's edge with a loss of 1000
lives, Is credited to wireless telegra
phy. Fire broke out In the main deck
of the Providence Just before dawn,
while the" steamboat was on her way
to New York. The flames spread
rapidly and smoke quickly filled the
upper decks awakening the 600 pas
sengers, many of them women and
children.
The Richard Peck of New Haven,
was two miles ahead. She was sum
moned by wireless telegraphy and
was signaled to stand by. The two
steamboats were soon brought to
gether, gangways were run from boat
to boat, and all. the 600 passenger
Were transferred from the smoke-
filled Providence without mishap.
A proposal of marriage has even
been made by wireless telegraphy. A
young New Yorker, who was very
much in love with a Philadelphia
woman, saw her off with her mother
to Europe, from the former city. A
Philadelphia man of good fortune and
handsome, was going by the same
bo.it, and was very attentive to her.
The young New Yorker would have
put her feelings for him to the test
before the boat sailed, but her mother
gave him no opportunity.
In an agony of. apprehension lest
the handsome Phlladelphlan should
steal a march on him during the voy.
age, and carry off the prize, the young
fellow sent a Marconlgram to the
younir lady, asking her If she would
many him on her return. ' He recelv.
ed an answer the same day, and it
was one which gave him every satisfaction.
